The final part of a drying cycle occurs without heat (cool down cycle) to ensure that

the items reach a lower temperature to avoid wrinkling.

Anticrease: If the laundry is not removed at the end of the drying cycle, an automatic

anti-crease cycle will operate for maximum 15 min (by choosing the option

“Anticrease” this time can be extended up to 12 hours).

feedback about the energy consumption of

the selected programmes.

This function will not work for a time based

programme.

s soon as you turn the programme selector

to any humidity steared programme, the

“Eco monitor” lamps will indicate the

expected energy consumption.

The three indicators show the degree of

consumption: the less energy your

programme setting is forecasted to consume,

the less indicators will light up.

This depends on the programme, initial

moisture and options selected, and also on

the size of the load.

For that reason, the forecasted degree of

energy consumption may adapt when the

tumble dryer detects the load size.
